We offer a niche business with an exclusive service, by this we mean it could be the one-stop solution in terms of an attic cleaning service that you are looking for.

We understand the burden that you may be faced with, but here at [company name], we pride ourselves on offering both attic-cleaning and insulation (if required). Before we get started with the nitty gritty of the cleaning, we will inspect your attic, install insulation if you need it, and ensure that all of your attic-related needs or problems are dealt with in one swift process. Why allow this to be a time-consuming process, when we can deal with all your attic clean-up requirements for you.
Do you have a problem with Rodents?
You may not realize it nor would you expect to have a rodent infestation, but it is a more common occurrence than you may actually think. The thought of having rodents could be one of the major reasons you do not want to clean-up your attic yourself. Rodents are unsanitary and can come in various breeds, unfortunately for us. Roughly a quarter of any rodent infestations that are found in our homes, typically reside in your attic. The worst part about any rats or mice residing in your attic is that they will try and find any way possible to spread through the rest of your home, which is a problem that no of us would like. They will do everything that they can to source food or scraps or a more comfortable environment for them. This is why if you do suspect a rodent problem that you deal with this as quickly as possible.
What is the damage that rodents can actually cause? Despite the well-known fact that they are unclean animals, they can cause some serious damage to your home. By this we mean, they may start in your attic, but they can start to cause structural damage in your home; they will start to chew through your pipes and wiring, which can be a large expense to replace. Not only that, rodents will defecate in your home, leaving rodent droppings and urine in your attic, and possibly some areas in your home.
Rodent droppings can be seriously harmful to you, and your attic, ideally they should be removed safely, not to cause any further damage. Eventually, mouse or rat droppings will eventually begin to cause contamination within your insulation and can damage the wood itself inside your attic. As a consequence of rodent, the droppings will start to infect the attic air, and you may start to notice this as the summer months begin to approach as it will cause an unpleasant smell across your attic, but your home as well. So, please allow us to help you if you are aware that you have a rodent issue, or you may suspect one. The faster you deal with the infestation in your attic, you can prevent further implications to your home. We feel it is a problem that should be dealt with sooner rather than later.
